I'm a new member based in UK. Finding your posts so helpful. Now caught up in the T3 debacle with GP/CGT/Endo in the coming months. Looking for private supply in Europe. Told from reliable source yesterday that T3 withdrawn in Portugal 3 months ago. Does anyone know where I can buy in Europe from reliable pharmacy? Been on T3 19 years so any advice on how to handle GP/Endo next month very welcome. Thank you all

Have you contacted your local MP - face to face to inform him/her. TUK has had a meeting with the Lords and Lord Hunt in particular whom you should contact and I'll give a link for information. To be on T3 19 years and then being told it is being removed is absolutely horrendous. There has also been a Debate recently and it ran for over three hours.

I will close your post now so that if any member has information of where to source T3 will respond by Private Message. Sourcing T3 seems quite difficult at present and don't know whether it there is a shortage or not.

Not what you're looking for?
